Malayalam's
renowned
director-writer-actor
Sreenivasan's
latest
release
Kadha,
Samvidhanam:
Kunchacko,
directed
by
Haridas
Keshavan
(known
as
director
Haridas),
is
a
film
that
has
been
made
in
the
most
conventional
manner
and
has
nothing
new
to
offer.
The
director
has
just
rambled
with
his
own
story,
which
begins
somewhere
andgoes
elsewhere,
conveying
nothing
in
the
process.
Kadha,
Samvidhanam:
Kunchacko
altogether
fails
to
impress.
The
film
revolves
around
a
self-made
millionaire
Kunchacko
(Sreenivasan),
who
owns
a
private
bank,
medical
college,
multiplex
supermarket
and
many
other
private
institutions.
Born
in
a
poor
family,
this
50-year-old
bachelor
became
a
business
magnate
only
through
cruelty
and
shrewdness.
What
he
earned
however,
was
always
for
his
siblings.
He
has
a
large
family
of
brothers,
sisters
and
brother-in-laws
(Ganesh,
Prem
Kumar,
Sudhish,
Sona
Nair
and
Lakshmi
Priya),
who
are
all
well-settled
in
life,
all
because
of
his
generosity.
Kunchacko
never
found
the
time
to
live
for
himself.
His
siblings
try
their
level
best
to
make
Kunchacko
a
polished
man,
but
in
vain.
Finally,
their
parish
priest
Father
Vattapara
(Jagathy
Sreekumar)
advises
them
to
persuade
him
to
marry.
Due
to
continuous
pressure
from
his
family,
Kunchacko
finally
decides
to
marry
and
selects
Anne
Mary
(Meena),
daughter
of
a
former
employee
of
his
finance
company,
and
a
software
engineer
by
profession.
Anne
Mary
had
taken
a
loan
from
Kunchacko's
bank
and
is
finding
it
hard
to
repay
it.
At
this
juncture,
Kunchacko
offers
to
write
off
the
loan
if
she
agrees
to
marry
him.
Anne
Mary
agrees
and
they
get
married.
On
the
night
of
their
marriage,
the
hero
has
a
change
of
heart,
which
is
quite
unconvincing
for
the
audience
to
digest!
Sreenivasan
as
Kunchacko
is
his
very
usual
self,
donning
the
role
with
all
his
routine
mannerisms.
After
the
mega
hits
Udayananu
Tharam
(2005)
and
Katha
Parayumbol
(2007),
Sreenivasan
once
again
teams
up
with
Meena
who
has
given
a
convincing
portrayal
as
Anne
Mary
in
this
film.
The
performances
of
the
other
cast
members
are
just
average.
However,
it
is
a
pleasant
surprise
to
see
forgotten
actors
Prem
Kumar
and
Sudheesh
in
full-length
roles
as
Kunchacko's
siblings.
As
far
as
the
technical
side
of
the
film
is
concerned,
there
is
nothing
much
to
mention.
Music
director
Thej's
lone
song,
penned
by
Gireesh
Puthenchery,
doesn't
impress
much
and
reminds
you
of
a
couple
of
other
songs
featuring
Sreenivasan,
especially
the
one
in
Udayanaanu
Thaaram.
All
in
all,
Kadha,
Samvidhanam:
Kunchacko
may
be
a
few
inches
above
the
average
stuff
being
churned
out
in
recent
times,
but
could
have
been
made
much
better!
